Fix things Friday

[luzula]

In the last seven weeks, I have:

- held two introductory meetings for new union members,
- helped introduce a new online calendar system for booking the union meeting rooms,
- worked to prepare a union workshop day that unfortunately didn't happen,
- written minutes at a union members' meeting,
- prepared and chaired a union board meeting,
- prepared and chaired another union members' meeting,
- fixed a new router for union office,
- had dialogue with union auditors,
- talked with a small-town branch of the union near us which might need support from us,
- started to prepare for finding candidates for the board and various committees for the union next year,
- went to a weekend workshop on wood-living fungi (which knowledge I will later use to save forests),
- went to a information meeting with the county administration board as representative for environmental org,
- met with a forest company in a forest we're trying to save and they're trying to cut down,
- did October accounting for environmental org,
- checked out the local Extinction Rebellion group that's just starting in my town and offered my services if they need tree climbing skills for banner hanging,
- and many other small things and lots of emailing.

Wow, you did so much! Congrats!

Thanks! It feels good write it all down and see what I actually did.

Thank you, again, for doing this necessary and important (if not always glamour) work.

Ha ha, no, most of it is not glamourous. Also some of it is kind of like having teenage kids - there is a leftist youth organization who also use the union offices and who have to be reminded to do the cleaning when it is their turn. I sometimes wonder how exactly they plan to create a better future society when they can't even take responsibility for their own cleaning.
